Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major life insurance company in the Philippines, recently conducted a medical and dental mission aimed at providing healthcare services to the members of Ahon sa Hirap, Inc. (ASHI). The event saw the participation of 500 individuals from Pililia, Rizal who received vital medical attention and support.
Ahon sa Hirap, Inc., an organization dedicated to uplifting underprivileged communities, welcomed the initiative as a much-needed resource for its members. The medical mission included various healthcare services such as consultations, dental check-ups, and medication distribution, addressing the immediate health needs of those in attendance.
Furthermore, this medical mission was conducted in collaboration with A.Y. Foundation (AYF), the corporate social responsibility arm of the Yuchengco Group of Companies, Stronghold Insurance and Harley Davidson Owners Group-Manila (HOG-Manila). AYF supplied the medical and dental supplies utilized by the volunteer doctors and dentists, while Stronghold Insurance provided meals for both attendees and volunteers. Additionally, HOG-Manila played a vital role by contributing additional volunteer doctors, dentists, and nurses.
“At Sun Life Grepa, we believe in the importance of giving back to the community and making a positive impact on the lives of others. Through initiatives like this medical mission, we are able to extend our support to those in need and help build healthier, more resilient communities,” Sun Life Grepa Vice President for Group Marketing Operations Peter Miranda said. “We are also grateful to the volunteer doctors, dentists and nurses who generously gave their time to provide medical care to ASHI members.”
This marks Sun Life Grepa’s continued commitment to serving the members of ASHI as it is not the first time the company has conducted such a medical and dental mission. The first time was in Dasmarinas, Cavite, the second time was in Mauban Quezon and the third time was in San Jose, Antique.
Children of Barangay Manggahan in Pasig City now have their very own Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Center as community officials and Ronald McDonald House Charities and McDonald’s Philippines united in support of early childhood education, emphasizing their shared commitment to investing in the learning of young children.
Attended by Kap. Quin A. Cruz, Barangay Captain of Brgy. Manggahan, Hon. Roman Romulo, Congressman of Pasig City, Vice Mayor Robert Jaworski, Jr., Adi T. Hernandez, McDonald’s Ph Assistant Vice President for Corporate Relations and Impact and RMHC Vice President, Freda Asis, a teacher at a Bahay Bulilit center, and Mayor Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto, City Mayor of Pasig City, the official turnover of the Bahay Bulilit Center highlighted the collaborative effort to create educational opportunities for the youth.
“Pandemya pa lang talagang andaming naitulong at naging matibay na partner na ng lungsod ng Pasig, ng ating pamahalaang lungsod ang McDonald’s,” (McDonald’s has already helped us a lot and has been a strong partner of the city government of Pasig”),” Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto said.
Bahay Bulilit centers provide a safe space for children in communities to develop essential skills. McDonald’s and RMHC partner with local government units in identifying areas that need the facilities. These are later handed over to the local Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for operations, each able to accommodate 90 to 100 learners annually.
“This is the 1st Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit in Pasig City, and the 41st in the country. Truly, the Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit program demonstrates how the private and public sectors can work together to support nation-building,” said Adi Hernandez, McDonald’s Philippines AVP for Corporate Relations and Impact.
Hernandez underscored the partnership with the local government, saying, “McDonald’s has always been an ally of every community where we operate. As we grow, so should the communities we serve, especially children and families. It is our commitment to make a difference by driving positive impact through the programs of Ronald McDonald House Charities or RMHC, our charity of choice. In partnership with the Local Government and Department of Social Welfare and Development, a Bahay Bulilit opens its doors to learners 2-4 years old to provide them a safe place to learn and play while their parents work.”
Pasig City welcomed its first McDonald’s store in 2005, particularly in Shell Emerald. Ngayon po, meron na kaming 16 stores sa Pasig City (Now, we have 16 stores in Pasig City). We are proud and happy to be part of daily life ng mga taga-Pasig (of the people of Pasig).
Bahay Bulilit is not the only way that McDonald’s Philippines is helping the city’s children and families in need. For close to eight years, McDonald’s has been a part of the annual Brigada Eskwela – helping public schools get ready for the next school year.
In the next school year’s preparations, schools and communities can look forward once again to McDonald’s active participation through ReClassified – a program that upcycles McDonald’s decommissioned restaurant furniture into desks and tables for public schools.
Students and teachers can also benefit from the ongoing McDonald’s Day and Night Classroom. McDonald’s party areas are being transformed into comfortable learning spaces, providing them a place where they can learn safe from the scorching heat and heavy rains.
The Bahay Bulilit in Pasig City is the 41st in the roster of these centers, following the recent opening of the learning center in Cabanatuan. McDonald’s and RMHC aim to establish 100 learning centers by 2028.
“We are very grateful for the support and partnership with the Mayor’s Office and City Social Welfare and Development. For us in McDonald’s and RMHC, making a difference in communities has and will always be part of who we are and what we do—whether it is through employing in our stores – even for working students, taking care of the environment, or by supporting the programs of RMHC kagaya ng Bahay Bulilit (like Bahay Bulilit), said Adi Hernandez.

As a key figure in contemporary pop and R&B music in the Philippines for more than a decade, James Reid has gifted music fans around the world with compelling jams that transcend eras and generations. With chart-topping records, sold-out tours, and well-received brand campaigns under his belt, the music mogul, actor, and singer-songwriter continue to strike a balance between commercial viability and artistic independence, ensuring that there’s a place for artists like him in the mainstream music scene, who don’t need to pander to existing trends for a hit.
For his first project under Sony Music Entertainment, James Reid explores the theme of being heartbroken in the new single “Hurt Me Too.” A stripped-down ballad that packs an emotional punch, “Hurt Me Too” finds him grappling with the realities of a heartbreak.
The Tim Marquez-produced track shows James at his most vulnerable, looking back at the ghost of his past with equal moments of fondness and pain.
“I wrote the song three years ago together with Seth Reger, an artist from LA,” the talented multi-hyphenate shares. “He really helped me tap into these emotions that I didn’t even know I was feeling at that moment.”
According to the Randomantic act, “Hurt Me Too” marks a significant shift in his sonic and lyrical direction—a crucial decision that he admits, would define the next phase of his music era. This time around, the focus is more on the storytelling aspect of his music-making: unearthing old wounds and memories, and turning them into an inspiring piece of work.
He explains, “For this next album I’m working on, I wanted to focus on the core of who I am as a songwriter with minimal but intentional music production. Hurt Me Too is like a palate cleanser for me in a way that it introduces a change in sound and direction.”
The heartfelt tune will be accompanied by a music video release helmed by Elena Virata, a close friend of James. “The concept was simple but powerful, focusing on unreleased emotions and frustrations,” the award-winning recording star adds.
James Reid’s “Hurt Me Too” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
Commits to Help Restore the Country’s Mangrove Ecosystem
Protecting shorelines. Last year, 212 employee volunteers participated in a string of tree-planting activities. The photo shows some Jollibee employees who volunteered planting mangrove propagules in Lemery, Batangas.
MANILA, Philippines. – The Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) continues to drive change through its corporate social responsibility arm, the Jollibee Group Foundation, Inc. (JGF), as it spearheaded a mangrove reforestation program with a string of tree-planting activities held in three coastal provinces.
Close to 4,000 mangrove trees have been planted by JFC employees: 2,250 mangrove propagules along the coastlines of Alaminos, Pangasinan and Carmen, Cebu; and 1,700 seedlings in Lemery, Batangas.
JGF President Gisela Tiongson emphasized that the reforestation initiative is part of JFC’s increased efforts to advance its global sustainability agenda called Joy for Tomorrow in line with the objective under the Planet pillar to help treat the planet responsibly.
“JFC’s 45th anniversary last year marked a special milestone that inspired us to step up our effort in creating value for our stakeholders and in giving back to the environment,” said Tiongson. “Through this mangrove reforestation program, we aim to help restore the mangrove ecosystem and build a more resilient future for our fellow Filipinos living in coastal communities.”
Treating the Planet Responsibly. Zenith Foods Corporation and Red Ribbon – Mandaue City employee volunteers plant mangrove propagules in Carmen, Cebu.
Strengthening collaboration
JGF has collaborated with national agencies and local community partners to ensure that the mangrove planting activities are done correctly using the right species that are planted in the right site and in the right season—all these considerations are crucial in ensuring mangrove survival and propagation.
Tiongson recognized the support provided by DENR SCIS-Strategic Alliance and Environmental Partnership Division, DENR-Environmental Management Bureau, DENR Region 7, City Environment & Natural Resources Office (CENRO) of Cebu City and Carmen, and CENRO Calaca, Batangas. “We are grateful for their assistance and for guiding us throughout the activities, as well as the People’s Organization in Cebu for the mangrove seedlings,” she said.
Fostering employee engagement
The reforestation program was started in 2023, with over 200 employee-volunteers from Jollibee, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Zenith Foods Corporation, and Jollibee Worldwide Services Logistics. This also formed part of the Company’s engagement program for its employees and JFC’s 45th anniversary activities.
To bolster the project, JFC’s President and CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong and JGF’s Tiongson, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga on April 19.
Tanmantiong emphasized, “We are cognizant of the climate emergency we are in, and hence, we are taking steps to contribute to climate mitigation in the work of JGF, together with the company. To this end, we will be investing in mangrove reforestation initiatives with the help of our employee volunteers. And we will be supporting communities in mangrove management.”
Employee Volunteerism. Employees from Jollibee North Luzon District 1 participate in a mangrove tree planting project in Alaminos City, Pangasinan.
Under the MOU, JGF has committed to “mobilize volunteer employees to participate in the conduct of environmental programs and activities in mangrove reforestation and extend its support to community-based mangrove protection and reforestation activities.”
This year, JGF will also be working on establishing the project as a sustained program in a move to further broaden the skill set, experience, and knowledge of JFC employees beyond their work. To further increase the area of mangrove habitat in the country, JGF is also planning to conduct mangrove planting activities in Visayas and Mindanao under strong community management.
